Anrique Valera

Anrique Valera (died March 1716) was a Spanish Navy captain who commanded the frigate Triunfo. In March 1716, Triunfo engaged in a gunnery battle with several British Royal Navy ships northwest of the Cayman Islands, and the pirate Edward Kenway and the crew of the ship Jackdaw took advantage of the clash to incapacitate and board Triunfo. Kenway slew Valera in the ensuing battle, and the ship was plundered by the pirates.
